Sudden and Mysterious Disappearance Of
Ruby Churchill, of ST. Joseph.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Dec. 13-Yesterday
morning at 10 o'clock Ruby Churchill
aged about 16 years, disappeared from her
home and has not since been seen. About
a week ago Frank w Churchill, father of
the girl, left home and the next day sent d
letter to his wife telling her to provide for
herself and not take anything with her
''only what she could carry in her hands"
and he would take care of the children.
Mrs. Churchill refused to comply with the
request and notified the police of the let
ter When her daughter disappeared she
believed that her husband had spirited her
away, and today had him arrested on
a charge of abandonment in order to hold
him.
Churchill is man Of considerable means
and was proprietor of restaurant on
Sixth street, which he sold a few days
ago, leaving his family unprovided for.
Whether he has taken the girl is only
matter of conjecture, but the police are III
vestigating the ease.
Mrs. Churchill is the daughter of Levi
Scheffer, of Union Star, Gentry county,
one of the wealthiest men in that section
She was married to her present husband
when 10 years of age, and he was set up IN
business by his father-in-law, but shortly
afterwards sold out and moved to. st.
Joseph Scheffer arrived in the city today
and declared that he would have his
granddaughter if ne had to spend half his
fortune The police believe the girl has
run away but Mrs. Churchill thinks that
she has been spirited away by her father.

dered. He was shortly afterward released

A PROTEST.
The Chamber of Commerce of Salt Lake
City oppose the Reduction of
Taxes on Lead.

SALT LAKE. Utah, Dec. 13.-The cham
Der of commerce of Salt Lake City has
adopted the following protest against the
reduction of lead, OF lead ores:
Resolved, By the chamber of commerce
of Salt Lake City, that we earnestly pro-
test against any reduction of the existing
tariff dcties on imported lead or lead ores;
such reduction would ruin thousands of
our people, because the lead and silver
mines in this territory worth $50 600, 600
and producing $4,000 900 annually with
all ore dressing and smelling plants to be-
come a local loss; reduce the freight earn
ings of the Utah railroads so per cent;
throw multitude of workin gmen out of
employment: paraliZe our Industries, and
set back the growth of the territory many
wears There can be no object gained by
reducing the duties on these products
sufficiently TO justify SO enormous an lnju
ry to our people. A corresponding injury
would, by such reduction, be inflicted on
the people of all mining states and terri
tories and destruction of silver and lead,
mining and smelling would reduce the
annual production Of the precious metal
in the United States So, 000,0 900. 1t would
also materially reduce the entire business
of the east ard whole mining regions and
thus affect the freight earnings OF all rail-
roads of the country
The board OF directors We're authorized
to take such action for the protection of
these industries mentioned, as many
deemed necessary.

of the finding of Bakers body in the Cot
tonwood last spring, numerous persons
named Smith and several parties with
other names have been watched and ar
rested supposed to be the murderer.

said parties acquitting them from the Sc
rious charge. Sheriff White has been
untiring in his search. and from a telegram
received this morning, IL looks as if his
work on this question was nearly ended.
IT will be remembered that man named
Dell Smith disappeared from Kansas City
about the time Baxter left, and it has
been ascertained TO almost certainty that
he left in company with the murdered
man.
During the correspondence White
learned where Smiths home was before
moving to Kansas City, and wrote the
officers he was wanted and what for. The
officers answered the correspondence by
saying that Smith had ceased to write to
his old home since last spring, naming a
time corresponding TO the time left Baxter
left Kansas City. These circumstances
and many Others. point conelusively to-
wards Smith as the guilty man. The tele-
gram received this morning from Indiana.

Louisiana Democratic leaders declare their
intention not to allow cOlored people to

asserted their intention to settle this ques-
ton without the slightest regard to north

think that both northern sentiment and
interest should lead to the passage of
laws to limit the suppression
of the suffrage to elections
for state officers, and give us free suffrage
for national Offices" Mr.. Chandler said
his measure did not cover presidential
